Very patient instructor with many years of experience, which shows in a good way. The kids love him and he knows just what to do to get the best out of them. Emphasis in beginning level classes is on doing your best and following instructions (not familiar with higher level classes yet). The kids get plenty of exercise and learn self-control in a fun way. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to start in martial arts (I believe adult beginning and advanced classes are also taught).
